Hello!

I'll keep this here short. If enough people is interested, I'll give more details in the official OOC. If, because of this, you have any questions, please just go ahead and ask away!



The Idea


Simple.

I once took part in a roleplay about a school that teaches the art of the sword in feudal japan, but it died too fast for my tastes. So here I am now, searching for people who would be interested. I have read the big lines of japan history and settled on the date 1636, after the Sakoku edict of Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa, forbidding anyone from leaving, or entering, the island. Now, I don't ask of anyone to be a professional historian at all. If you have any kind of questions about that subject, you can ask me without problems. If you happen to know more than me, that is perfectly fine too. :P

I don't have any terms yet for the school or the art that will be taught there other than it being about classical Japanese sword fighting and zen purposes. There will be two schools, and two different styles. There will be only two teachers, one for each schools. The masters - or Sensei - will be the ones knowing all the secrets of their styles. I coudl end up playing both teachers, but I may be convinced to let someone else play one of them however he or she sees fit.

There won't be any official student ranks properly speaking. There will, however, be more senior students. They will be the ones that have been studying at the school for a long time. Skills will have nothing to do with the ranks, only time spent at the school will. The most ancient students will even be allowed to give lessons if they have been judged ready by the Master of the school.

One of the school, to be determined, will teach both swords and zen arts. This means Tea ceremony will be as important as sword practice! The other school will be more focused on rigorous training of a more straightforward technique.

As promise, I'll keep this short. This is as much information as needed for now. The OOC will be more complete, with much more details, visual information, pictures and details about the time period.
